Hi Mindy,

Yes, I still produce the Foz Down and sell to pet shops. For hobbyists who don't have a local store I will ship.

Cheers,
Tim

TimT may be an option if you get stuck.

UPDATE

I have finally got a hold of the high PO4 levels in my 75g tank. I have been using Foz Down, RowaPhos in a reactor and I have increased my water changes. Today I tested the PO4 using a Salifert test kit and found it to be in the area of 0.25 (way down from previous). I will continue my reduction plan over time until I can get it close to "0" and scale back the use of Foz Down.

Is there any particular GFO people are using for long term use?

I gave up on gfo I found rowa is way more potent then gfo by the way I tried 3 different brands of gfo also tried aquaforest phosphate minus it was horrible I was replacing that crap every 7 days.

Thanks for the review Ryan , I was going to try the phos minus but I guess going to stay away...
I was dosing mb7 and biofuel and running zeolite in reactor,phos was so low don't had to run Rowa anymore... switched to AF pro bio s and np pro and running zeolite in reactor and still really low phos... the last month decided to put zeolite in mesh bag and phos and nitrate went up, so just install the reactor yesterday.... hopefully will go back to normal.....
To be clear I do not run Rowa or gfo since last June .... and phos been very low that I have started to dose phos extra special to get to 0.03
